“Palestine Laboratory” — Coming to a city near you.
What’s being tested and refined on Palestinians today is being exported and turned on all of us tomorrow.
Surveillance tech. Military tactics. Authoritarian tools.
We’ve seen it with ICE already using the same Israeli systems on Americans.
This is the boomerang of empire.

JStreet once again works w/ AIPAC to defend Israel from any real pressure, smothering their predictable lockstep support for Israel in mopey handwringing and faux nuance. A deeply cynical org that exists solely to protect the axioms of Israeli violence from meaningful opposition
Wow. "ICE agents have been directed to largely suspend vehicle stops until further notice, according to a source familiar with the guidance, marking a major reversal in recent tactics following two ICE-involved fatal shootings over the last week," @priscialva reports.

Labour’s rewriting of history is quite something.
The main problem was NOT that Labour was “too slow to call for a ceasefire” as Andy Burnham & Yvette Cooper now say it is.
The problem was Starmer, a human rights lawyer, saying Israel cutting off water and electricity was acceptable - and taking 9 days to correct the record.
Ongoing UK intelligence, military & trade co-operation during a genocide
Ministers refusing to listen to surgeons trying to advocate for killed/maimed children
Backing Trump & Netanyahu without question for almost two years.
The list goes on and on and on….
Today, the Senate will take a key vote on a $1.1 TRILLION defense bill.
Not only does this effectively green light Trump's illegal Iran war, it also gives the Israeli govt immense leverage over our national security.
In 2023, we saw firsthand the risk that could pose⬇️
Former congressman Dennis Kucinich on US-Israel Defense Tech Cooperation Initiative (NDAA Sec 219)
"You could almost say this is a takeover... [Bibi Netanyahu]... will have the ability to direct the US Military"
"This is totally unprecedented"
"the way this is written, it puts the Department of Defense in the driver's seat over other federal departments, including State. And... it runs through the whole government"
This clip of Kucinich (@Dennis_Kucinich) is taken from a discussion with Ron Paul (@RonPaul) posted to YouTube on July 8, 2026.
-----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------
"Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, is taking credit for the legislation that, that was put into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027. He basically said, Yeah, this is what I want.
"Well, he wants it because he'll have the ability to direct the US Military. I mean, it's mind-boggling when you think about it.
"And this particular proposal, by the way, the way it's structured, when I first heard about it, I said I have to read the legislation, because let me tell you folks who are watching, you have to read the legislation in order to understand its workings.
"And the way this is written, it puts the Department of Defense in the driver's seat over other federal departments, including State. And then this policy has— it runs through the whole government.
"I mean, this really, you could almost say this is a takeover. And for some it'll sound hysterical. But the truth is that it is laying the groundwork for an entanglement that has never happened in the history of the United States. This is totally unprecedented."
@GeneralMCNews While Americans can't afford groceries and homelessness is peak, f-ing @RepJeffries wants to continue stealing from us to serve his masters in Israel.
Filth.
His name is Joan Sebastian Guerrero.
He was executed by ICE yesterday.
He was a father, a husband, and his life was cut short by a rogue US government agency that continues to get away with murdering human beings. Abolish ICE and arrest every ICE agent who has committed murder.
🚨NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON SATURDAY, JULY 18: The entire country must rise up to stop ICE’s killing spree. On July 7, ICE agents murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Today ICE murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine.
These deaths are not accidental — they are the direct result of the Trump administration’s war on working-class immigrant communities, a war which is now demanding agents arrest 2,000 people per day.
After the people of Minnesota organized strikes and shutdowns to drive out Operation Metro Surge, ICE tried for several months to “stay out of the headlines.” But ICE’s overall aggressive and violent approach has continued with new tactics, and now a massive budget. Every Congressperson who has voted for ICE funding is responsible for these crimes. ICE may have pulled the trigger but they handed them the guns.
The vast majority of the country opposes the racist deportation drive Trump is waging in our communities. We want justice, equality and full rights for all immigrants. Now we must stand up and refuse to allow this violence to go unchallenged.
In the name of Joan, Lorenzo, Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, Jaime Alanis, Keith Porter and so many other victims of ICE Terror: all out this Saturday, July 18!
AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
When you open the trenches with all of this money that Republicans have now funneled to ICE without any oversight, you’re going to see abuses of power. That’s exactly what’s happening.
Notice that we didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree of regularity when we froze ICE funding. And now that it’s been opened up again, we’re seeing multiple incidents.
What we are seeing is the strategic and methodical targeting of those who use their resources to support social movements challenging the grotesque violence wielded by the most powerful institutions. These are entirely politically motivated charges. https://t.co/UleIPbpZRC
⭕️ Immigration Judge Ruled a Man’s Pro-Palestine Views Mean Nothing He Says Can Be Believed
Yaakub Vijandre, a 38-year-old Filipino-American photojournalist and DACA recipient, has been held in ICE detention for nine months over pro-Palestine social media posts and posts opposing U.S. torture of prisoners, according to a member of his legal team attorney Eric Lee. Vijandre came to the U.S. in 2001 at age 14 and has no criminal record, but was arrested outside his Texas home in October 2025, a day after he filmed a city council meeting on the ICE detention of a local Palestinian community leader.
In denying him relief in March 2026, an immigration judge ruled that his politics rendered his testimony unreliable, writing that “the respondent’s worldview is informed by extremist ideology to such an extent that he no longer has the ability to provide reliable or credible factual statements,” and that he lacks a “meaningful grasp of truth about terrorism and terrorists.”

He was burning alive, yet he kept re-entering the burning Bradley Fighting Vehicle until all six soldiers and the Iraqi interpreter were safe. Burns covered 72% of his body. His first words were, ‘How are my boys?’ He died three weeks later. It took 16 years for him to receive the Medal of Honor. HIS NAME IS SERGEANT FIRST CLASS ALWYN C. CASHE, NEVER FORGET!!!
